This is an exciting coming together through film. My involvement and aims are to create cultural spaces using film as a vehicle for ourselves, for you and me to lean into changes we need to make. A space for us to share knowledge, learn, listen and offer each other support. In creating these spaces for awkward conversations, I propose we will find the courage to step toward the changes we need to take action on.
